Retirement advantages business: acquisition of Chinese enterprises overseas reefs

By Professional editor working for himfr.

Retirement benefits are often provided by Europe and the United States to a employee benefits, the cash flow its businesses, assets and liabilities as well as the level of profitability may have a considerable impact.

Recently, we saw that Chalco (10.83,0.04,0.37%) Rio Tinto to invest 19.5 billion U.S. dollars to establish a joint venture company and the subscription of convertible bonds, China Minmetals Group to buy Australian dollars 2.6 billion funded the world's second largest zinc mine mining business - OZ Minerals Co. of Australia. In addition, many car companies in China have been reported interest in buying Ford's Volvo car brands, as well as GM's Hummer SUV segments.

Chinese enterprises to dynamically search possibilities overseas, we should habitually pay vigilance to breakthrough and to guard against promise risks. Internationalization of Chinese enterprises is actually somewhat reduced span, to overseas, for example lawful, economic, trade unions and human assets directions and numerous other badly appreciated, so the acquisition should be very very careful to bypass dropping into a "trap." This item will amalgamations and acquisitions of Chinese enterprises in overseas when a comparatively new locality - the retirement advantages enterprise to do the inspiring.

Many countries around the world, especially Europe and the United States many companies, due to historical reasons often given to staff to determine treatment type (DB) retirement plans, including pension and medical benefits. And the United States in accordance with international accounting standards requirements, enterprises need to be reflected in the financial statements of the funds its retirement benefits (that is, assets and liabilities). China in 2007, the implementation of new accounting standards for retirement benefits in the treatment of employees is also the same with reference to international accounting standards. However, because many Chinese companies did not provide treatment to determine type of retirement benefits, or even if, welfare plan liabilities are a relatively small scale, so the majority of enterprises in China in this regard do not have enough experience, and not enough on this issue attention. Following the United States, GM and Ford Motors, for example two to explain the retirement benefits may have a major impact on businesses.

As can be seen from the table, which the market value of the two major car companies of its retirement benefits scheme is a small part of the balance, the deficit in the retirement plan is far more than its market value. From 1993 to 2007, General Motors spent a total of 103 billion U.S. dollars for its U.S. pension and retirement medical scheme contributions, an annual average of about seven billion U.S. dollars. It can be said that retirement benefits may be down U.S. auto companies, led to the decline in the competitiveness of an important factor.

In 2008 as a outcome of the down turn in international supply markets, premier to critical shrinkage of retirement benefit assets. In supplement, for the assessment of retirement benefit liabilities as a outcome of the discount rate (based on high-quality business bonds or government bonds yield) spectacularly decreased the grade of a corresponding boost in liabilities, producing in numerous businesses in the retirement benefit problem on the rise. So be certain, the above-mentioned two foremost automobile businesses in the U.S. retirement advantages in the position to worsen farther in 2008.

Mercer freshly for their award plans brought out in-depth examine and measurement. Research presentations that as at the end of 2008, the company's award plan arrears (that is, liabilities than assets) the summation has arrived at 410 billion U.S. dollars. In show up, by the end of 2007 to a surplus of 60 billion U.S. dollars. In harmony with the prerequisites of accounting benchmarks, award arrange funding declining circumstances wants to be mirrored in the balance sheet of enterprises, which right away acts on the determinations of company capital expenditure, advance bonds and loan ratings.

According to Mercer's study presentations that the S & P 1500 financial gathering the summation of the cost of award strategies in 2009 is looked frontwards to to get higher to 70 billion U.S. dollars (in 2008 about 10 billion U.S. dollars), effecting in a descent in the profitability of enterprises. Standard & Poor's in 2007 the company's 1500 mesh yield as the summation of 727 billion U.S. dollars, consequently advancing the cost of award strategies would intend 60 billion U.S. dollars of the yield of these financial gatherings (2007 level) will be lessened by 8%.

In the joining and reorganization, the global rehearse is in M & A due diligence, through the actuarial liabilities of retirement gains will bear out a in actual derived worth of the liabilities of the prevailing circumstances to make an very correct assessment. If the evaluated stage of public obligation and the dealer on the enterprise's fiscal assertions consider the discrepancies between the purchaser and the dealer is sanctioned to converse on price. Liabilities as a effect of the amount of retirement gains can be large, so assesses of liabilities can be a little out of charge dialogues effected in the many room. Many European and North American multinational businesses in the acquisition of Chinese financial gatherings often will examine characteristics of retirement gains, so when Chinese financial gatherings are in addition going to need to have adequate attention.

To addition up, Europe and the United States retirement advantages are often supplied by the worker advantages, the money flow its enterprises, assets and liabilities as well as the grade of profitability may have a substantial impact. Chinese enterprises in overseas amalgamations and acquisitions, we should have adequate information and comprehending of, and may contemplate the influence of the buy price. Not because of their need of groundwork initiated by M & A transactions can not be conveyed out easily, or after the transaction initiated many of accidents.
